  are you washing it? Like with soap, hot water? and scrubbing it with something like a scrubbing sponge?

  Have to ask, due to the prevalence of people buying into the whole “you cant wash cast iron!” myth.

    Definitely this, but also if you are washing it and re-seasoning it after if you use too much oil it can cause it to get sticky.

      Thats not really “re-seasoning” when you oil it after washing, its just rust prevention if you don’t have a good cure on the entire pan… I would only oil a pan down if I’m putting it into storage for a good long while… and that oil gets washed off before I use it, cause even the best cured pan always seems to develop some rust in long storage otherwise.

      My regular everyday cast iron pan just get washed, then put on a burner for a couple minutes to dry off any of the remaining water (after i towel it off), then pushed to the back of the rangetop for tomorrow.

      Obviously don’t take your hot pan, immediately wash it in cold water, and put it back on a hot burner, cause… you know… thermal shock will turn it into a fragmentation grenade*

      *(comedic hyperbole, for those that will inevitably take this too seriously)

        You’re right, wrong choice of wording on my part.
